Two scoundrels in arms! Wingfield rose to fame in Goldfield and soon controlled Nevada with an iron fist. He used jury manipulation, bribing, and even murder to control his empire. Davis was found guilty of murder just over the border in Idaho and only a plea from Governor Sparks (his boss at the time) saved his life and freed him. Davis then went to work for Wingfield. Much more information about these two is included! Lot of three. 1) Diamondfield-Bullfrog. George Wingfield and Diamondfield Jack Davis on same stock issue! #264 dated April 4, 1906. Stock is issued to George Wingfield. 2) Bullfrog Central. EXTREMELY RARE certificate signed by Wingfield, the famous Nevada mining magnate, as president. Underprint of a green bullfrog below the masthead, with green scroll borders. 3) Bull Frog Chief. No. 115 issued March 3, 1906 to George Wingfield for 32928 shares. This is another mine that has just fallen into the Wingfield empire!
